Toyota plans US-made batteries by 2025: Will more ambitious EV targets follow?
Toyota on Monday announced plans to invest $3.4 billion in U.S.-built batteries through 2030.
It’s part of a $13.5 billion global battery development investment made in September by Toyota Motor Corporation that included a push for reducing battery cost by 50% and improving efficiency by 30% over current EV tech.
Of that, Toyota plans to spend $1.29 billion by 2031 to build factories that will create 1,750 jobs. Included are a battery plant (and company) together with Toyota Tsusho, an associated supplier, with aims for that venture to start production in 2025.
